The bypass ring - where the band crosses or passes by itself rather than forming a closed circle - is a Contemporary ring form where the design concept comes from the structure of the band rather than the stones. The crossing or overlapping creates asymmetric visual interest and a subtle three-dimensionality that flat bands cannot achieve. The 0.19-carat round cubic zirconia accent marks the point of the bypass where the eye is naturally drawn, adding a small but precise sparkle to the structural focal point. Rhodium over sterling silver keeps the setting bright. A ring that rewards understanding its design vocabulary - once you see the bypass concept, this ring's appeal is immediately clear.
